If all goes well at a Jacksonville Economic Development Commission design review meeting today, the Southbank might be gaining a new office complex in the near future.
Land developer Michael Sones, president of Ocean Blvd. Development Inc., is going in front of the commission today with plans for three new 4,000-square-foot office buildings to be built on Home Street.
According to preliminary plans, JEDC spokesperson Jean Moyer said the new buildings will be adjacent to the Home Street Lofts, which is another of Sones’ developments. The new buildings are currently slated to be used as medical offices, she said.
Moyer said the committee will look at the plans to decide what kind of impact the new buildings will have on the area.
Sones declined to comment on the project until after the design meeting.
